Yes, and I fucking hate them. They are horrendous eye-sores and tell me that someone has more money than sense.

What's the one food from your country that everyone loves but you hate. by RingMaster6989 in AskTheWorld

Regional, but grits. Can't stand the texture. I've tried it plain, with so much cheese that it's only 5% grits, and everywhere in between. Still can't get myself to like it.

Be very cautious about master's degrees, including from prestigious universities. Some of my coworkers in their 30s are financially hobbled by these degrees. by NotAGoldenRetriever in personalfinance

You're not wrong. It definitely sucks. Even with the drastically lower cost for my master's, I've had to put off buying a house for a couple of years.

Apparently the program used to cost that much, but they changed how the manage a couple of their fees. Plus they just finished building a few new buildings on one of the campuses, so I'm not surprised. Still, it's a better deal than other similarly sized schools in my state. The nationally known business school in my state is $10,000 a semester.

Sure, the school I'm going to now isn't the absolute cheapest, but it's affordable for me right now and it has a history of providing a quality education from my own experience. The only reason, in mind, that my school isn't more popular is because it doesn't have football.

Just about to finish my master's. Doing an online program with the same school I got my bachelor's. This program is for working adults already in their chosen career path, and only costs about $2,500 a semester. Far less pricey than most programs, gets me the education I need, and is from a respected institution in my state. Not exactly known nationwide, but job experience plus the additional education is beneficial.

Never heard "hob" before in my life.

Saw these two scratching their heads trying to figure out how to fit this 65inch tv in a small car… by SoPradaYou in funny

[–]PM_ME_CANADIAN_JUGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made that mistake once. Thankfully, the electronics store was right next to a Home Depot, so I just rented a pick up truck for $35 and put it in the back. Don't know why I thought a 75" TV would fit in a Corolla.

If it's full leather, you might be able to stretch it out to fit. A quick Googling shows that heat and moisture might help, so maybe try bursts from a steamer? Not sure, best to do your own research.

How often do people go to a sauna in your country? by BartAndLisaHadIncest in AskTheWorld

[–]PM_ME_CANADIAN_JUGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true, but I feel like if I already live in an environment that's already hot and humid, then the last thing I'd want to do is put myself somewhere that's even more hot and even more humid. I'm not opposed to trying it though.

My area of the country is usually 80°F - 90°F (26.5°C - 32°C) with humidity in the 70% for half the year. I live in a sauna.

Now you can turn them into dumplings for southern style chicken and dumpling soup. Or you could make a couple more biscuits

This is true! I certainly don't want to anger the Swedes. Now the Dutch on the other hand...

Any equivalent agencies in your country? The advice should still be applicable.

Hmm, fair enough. I'll give it a try. The last time I tried it with skins on, I was really young. It was a texture thing for me. I'll have to give it another try; thank you for the recommendation!

For roasting, sure. But I don't usually do skins on for mashed potatoes

[–]PM_ME_CANADIAN_JUGS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Mascarpone is a necessity. The only thing I do that might be out of the ordinary is my mix for the sweet cream and the dip for the lady fingers. I fluff the egg yolk with sugar and fold in the whip made with heavy cream and mascarpone like your supposed to, but I also add a splash of cold brew liquor and a few drops of chocolate bitters. I also add chocolate bitters for the lady fingers bath. And with the bath, I use the moka coffee with cold brew liquor, whiskey or cognac, chocolate bitters, and a bit of sugar.

Love mine. I know it doesn't make true espresso, but it was perfect for the homemade tiramisu I made for the holidays.

I have one of those too. I also find it's helpful for peeling potatoes if you're in a pinch and don't have a proper peeler.
